Ontario authorities are stepping up oversight of truck driver training schools, with the Ministry of Colleges and Universities (MCU) issuing a memo declaring unannounced inspections at registered career colleges under its purview.
The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) and MCU will jointly inspect facilities that deliver the province’s Class A commercial driver training program.
The memo says the coordinated initiative is intended to strengthen oversight and ensure educational standards and driver-training requirements are being met consistently and effectively.

Schools were also reminded that they must remain fully compliant with the Ontario Career Colleges Act, 2005, and the Highway Traffic Act.
